Department of Analytic Philosophy

Characteristics

The Department of Analytic Philosophy focuses on the logical, epistemological, semantical, and metaphysical analysis of fiction on one side, on hyperintesionality and the logic of responsibility, on the other. Therefore, the department’s research includes both theoretical research in analytic philosophy as well as its practical applicability. We offer the following Ph.D. topics: Problem of Grasping of Hyperintensional Language Phenomena; Formal Analysis of Impossible Objects; Formal Analysis of Fictional Discourse; and Transparent Intensional Logic: Theoretical Development and Application.

Analysis of justifications of modal claims and its application in evaluation of thought experiments

Study program: 2.1.2. systematic philosophy * Study form: full-time * Faculty: Faculty of Arts, Comenius University in Bratislava
Annotation:
The purpose of many thought experiments is to defend or to put doubt on some modal claim. The aim is to devise a topology of modal claims, their justifications as well as selected relevant relations among these. This analysis will be furthermore applied in considerations about the (conditions of) correctness of different types of thought experiments known from particular specialized literature.

Moral responsibility

Study program: 2.1.2. systematic philosophy * Study form: full-time * Faculty: Faculty of Arts, Comenius University in Bratislava
Annotation:
Debates around Moral Responsibility belong among the most widespread and relevant in philosophy. The aim is to present novel arguments within the dichotomies in existing debates about moral responsibility and/or to present arguments for new ways of focusing on relevant problems. The use of analytic methods should lead to a model of arguments within a formal system.
